Inside Famicom Mukashibanashi: Shin Onigashima - Zengohen
What it is
Famicom Mukashi Banashi: Shin Onigashima - Zengohen (Famicom Fairytales: New Island of Ogres - Part 1+2) is a game that ports both Part 1 (Zenpen) and Part 2 (Kouhen) games from the original Famicom Disk System releases to be played as a complete game.
This version was first released on the Wii Virtual Console, but the first time that both parts were ported together was in the Famicom Mini Series for the Game Boy Advance.
The premise
Once upon a time, there was an elderly couple living in Nagakushi village, a small village located far up in the mountains. The couple had no children, until one day, they were entrusted with the care of an infant boy and girl, as prophesied in a dream. The years went by, and when the two children were 8 years old, there was a terrible occurrence in the western capital. An evil dragon suddenly appeared in the city, turning humans into oni, ogres that suck away the souls of other humans. The oni advanced as far as Nagakushi village, stealing away the souls of the elderly couple. Fortunately the two children were left unharmed, and they set out on a quest to save their adopted parents, not realizing that this adventure would reveal the secret of their true origins...
